55 Chapter 55 (1/2)

Chapter 55

James had no idea what to say. Was this another joke by the developers? Was someone pulling his tentacle?

”Glyax?” Rue hovered in front of him as she waved a hand across his floating eye. ”Glyax?”

”Wha?” He blinked as her waving hand messed with his vision, drawing his focus away from the achievement notification. It floated in front of him, untouched since he opened it. He had been hoping for his last experience point, to hit rank, since Dwight's party had been the last one in his dungeon. However, it seemed the developers had a different plan in mind.

Achievement Unlocked- There Can Only Be One-

Reward – Title: Highlander

Highlander-???

”Are you okay?” Rue glanced at his achievement screen, before looking back at him.

”Yeah, just… I was expecting something a little better than just a title.” He stared at the screen, making sure he hadn't missed anything.

”I didn't think dungeon cores could get titles.” Rue muttered under her breath.

”What was that?” Her comment pulled him further out of his stupor. There was something the dungeon pixie didn't know?

”Nothing. So, what's the title do?” She flashed him a smile, but James could see her eyes held quite a bit of curiosity in them, as well as, was that, concern?

”No idea.” James didn't even know how to equip titles, but he figured he might as well find out.

”Let's” He closed the achievement and found himself staring at another message.

Equip Title: Highlander Y/Y?

”Well, that's just great.” He was growing really suspicious about this achievement. While the other achievements had all come across as sarcastic jokes or poor puns, this one seemed different. It didn't match what the developers had been doing with the game, and logically, it didn't make sense. Titles were meant to give players special buffs or traits, while also allowing them to show off a title they had earned. Many games had such mechanics.

A title for a dungeon core, that no other players could see, seemed pointless. What's more, none of the other dungeon cores had mentioned titles, not even Blank. With how many dungeon cores there were in chat, James figured there should at least be one or two mentions of such things.

He tried to exit out of the window, but it wouldn't. It stayed frozen directly in front of his field of view. He waved a tentacle, trying to summon more windows, but they wouldn't. Instead, the prompt just flashed brighter each time. It seemed he didn't have a choice.

”Fine.” James grumbled as he selected one of his two options. Just to be spiteful, he selected the right Y, where the no option would have normally been. It was pointless, but it made him feel better.

Congratulations! You have accepted the title of Highlander!
